A 27-year-old Taunton native and his fiancée, who were set to hold their wedding celebration this Saturday at the Lakeview Pavilion, have been forced to scramble to find another venue.

“I have put together a wedding in less than a week,” said Brian Doherty, 27, who now lives in Dighton. “It’s a disaster.”

The 108-year-old Lakeview Pavilion in Foxboro was torn down following a three-alarm fire last Saturday, which investigators think was started by a cigarette butt tossed into the mulch outside. No one was injured.

Doherty said his fiancée, 26-year-old Amanda Brady, of Walpole, is “devastated” by the turn of events. But because of all the other services they ordered for the occasion — including a deejay, the church for the ceremony, and a honeymoon reservation — they can’t reschedule the date now.

Nonetheless, Doherty said that all the vendors involved with the wedding plans are working with them, and it seems to be working out for the best, given the situation.

“We are under the gun,” said Doherty, who manages national routing for delivery trucks for Nestlé Waters in Raynham. “We talked to our vendors and they are willing to travel anywhere. In this situation, you get to see the good in people.”

By Wednesday, Doherty said that he and his bride-to-be decided to hold the wedding celebration at the Hillside Country Club in Rehoboth.

Doherty said he first heard about the fire at the Lakeview Pavilion in a text message from a friend who lives in California. He thought it was a prank.

“One of my friends that got married there sent me a text, but I didn’t believe him,” Doherty said. “I thought it was a joke. Very funny, a week before my wedding. He said, ‘Seriously. Google it.’ We didn’t know how to react.”

Doherty said his fiancée’s father called the Foxboro Fire Department to confirm that the building burnt down. But Doherty had to see it with his own two eyes.

“We went down yesterday and actually saw it,” said Doherty during an interview on Monday.

The owners of the Lakeview Pavilion were also helpful, Doherty said.

“They gave us money back and helped us try to get a new place,” he said. “They said they can donate their chef if the new place needs help. They are trying to go above and beyond. We feel bad about our situation, but there are a lot of brides and grooms out there like us, and people who lost their jobs because of the fire. You think about everyone it affects.”
